A virtual consultation is also added to the physical therapy program. In which you the therapist and doctor come up with a plan for rehabilitation.

The therapist was very good. But my experience at the practice not so much. I was a first time patient here. Address listed is 88-11 Jamaica Ave. I get to my appointment 20 minutes early just to see the practice closed !. The office confirmed with me 3 times the day prior and they didn't indicate they moved until I called them. Today 11/14 I have follow up at their 86-20 location which I also made sure to confirm only to get there and see a note to go to 88-11. My appointment is at 11am. I am here at 10:30 and the office is closed. I will not be going back to this practice. They are VERY unorganized

Terrible experience. Called to make sure they offered lymphatic therapy. Calls back and forth they assured me they did. Day before appointment I filled out paper work in line only to be called hours later to be told they actually did not offer the therapy I was dealing. Waste of time

March 30, 2025Mohammed S C.Verified patient
I think the overall physical therapy office is good and the employees are competent, however, their backend team is severely incompetent. I booked an appointment with this physical therapist and I had to see a different physical therapist because this physical therapist doesn’t come in on the day, I booked my appointment through Zocdoc. The backend team even called me and asked me to come in one hour early, which I did, only to find out that the actual practice wasn’t aware of my appointment. I’m not sure why this backend team exist, but I continue to physical therapy here the next week and the backend team continued to cause problems.

Very friendly staff. Clean environment. And your therapist listens to you and gives you a plan and makes sure you’re good and not in pain.

This doctor had a trainee during my appointment and I’m totally ok with it! But the doctor was always on her phone, the trainee’s communication was very poor. She didn’t speak clearly. The doctor was not attentive at all. Next they cancel my appointments.

I don’t feel like they actually wanted to help me. They are not focused on your wellbeing and are probably overbooking if they are concerned with other patients and can’t juggle it efficiently. Ive been in physical therapy for the same problem before. I have knots on my back and neck which the Doctor here pointed out but won’t even soothe it out with at least one swipe of a massage. Also, I’ve never heard of any work out being effective without consistency. Went the first day they showed me some things just for the second day to show me a complete different set of things with the highest resistance after the first day barely being able to do it on the light resistance. On top of that , today (second day) she said she’d put on the heat on my back for ten minutes just to dismiss me not even five minutes in to the heat session. I feel disrespected to the max right now and I expressed the whole session how badly my arm to my neck hurts just for them not to say a single word or opinion on

Great professionalism. They explained everything to the T, and made sure I felt comfortable with the whole process. Best service for a first time patient.

I’m really happy with Dr. Mayada she did a great job she was really quick to detect what was my situation if you need a therapist don’t hesitate to reach them out.
December 31, 2024Kirian M.Verified patient
The space was very nice—open, big, and pleasantly quiet. With no blaring music, I could focus fully on my session. What stood out most, though, was how friendly and attentive the staff were. They were always ready to assist, so I never had to wait for help. I also rally appreciated how knowledgeable Dr. Mayada Sharaf, DPT is.
November 13, 2024Kimberley C.Verified patient
When you book, you are assigned to a physical therapist pool. Unfortunately, this office accepts too many patients at once, so I never received personalized care. Sometimes I had to wait up to 10 minutes between exercises.

Hands ?? of healing ?????
October 10, 2024Gregory B.Verified patient
As someone who has had physical therapy before, I prefer to be treated by one therapist. My two times going to this office I have had two different therapist which is less than ideal. Especially, if it appears the communication between the therapists is lacking. The second therapist had no idea what I had done in my initial visit which was concerning. As I wondered whether my progress or lack thereof would be effectively communicated to whomever may be treating me on any given day.
Also with my second visit the therapist was treating 3/4 persons simultaneously. As I was learning exercises for the first time, a more hands-on approach was required. Then after I would finish an exercise I would have to wait until the therapist saw that I was finish, so she could return and move me on to the next exercise. This made the session longer than it had to be.
I never met with the DPT, so not sure what, if any involvement, she had with my prescribed care.

She and her staff were amazing but the only problem I had was that she does not do acupuncture and that what Zocdoc had her under. I would recommend anyone who need physical therapy to go see her and her top notch staff.
